the tl;dr character relationships meme

It's exactly what it sounds like! tl;dr about your character and their current relationships with others in game, or use it as a sounding board to talk about how potential cr might go down in future.

steps:
1. leave a toplevel with your character's name
2. comment to others' toplevels with the character relationship(s) you'd like them to tl;dr about
3. reply to their response with your own characters' thoughts on the cr!
4. gush/commiserate/poke fun at/meme on all our dumb characters and their dumb interactions idk
5. feel free to use the responses to throw together a cr chart, or link one if you already have one!

cw: brief mention of talk of rape

[omnicrafter]

Though she may have already tried unsuccessfully to do the detaching-for-her-own-good thing, the truth is that Irhya can't really bear to stay away for as long as she has him. It won't be forever, no, but that's like anything else in the ephemeral life of a mortal, and she's starting to come to terms with it. Slowly.

Emet still frustrates her at times, sure. There have been instances where she absolutely just wanted to throttle him, and not in a sexy way. In the end, their worldviews still oppose each other, even if he is no longer at the mercy of his god's will; it's still something she has to contend with, and whether it's just something that can be chalked up to stupid lovers' spats or something more serious, she isn't sure yet.

But like Yotsuyu before him, it's hard not to feel something for him, even as someone who's killed many more than she could've ever dreamed of doing. He won't acknowledge it; he literally can't if he doesn't want to carry the weight of countless lives upon his shoulders. He's stuck in a shitty situation with no one left to turn to, and though she wants to see him pick himself up and move on for as long as he has left, like mortals do, his entire coping mechanism involves dancing around the mountain of problems that build under him until he can't ignore them anymore. It took that one instance in Duplicity where he made that suggestion of assaulting her, in his visceral anger, for her to realize just how deep the both of them had fallen.

It's not a romance, and it probably never will be. Sometimes love alone isn't enough to make one. So she thinks, anyway. But it is enough to keep her going, at least, and even if she never has anything like it again, it's enough to remember fondly. She snuffed out his life and his dream, but at least he'll never be spoken of poorly as long as she's the one writing history.
